The Notorious B.I.G. Life After Death 20th Anniversary Mixtape

Mixed by DJ Matman for Wax Poetics & WhoSampled

This weekend sees the 20th anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.’s second and final album Life After Death. Released posthumously on Bad Boy Records on March 25, 1997, just sixteen days after the drive-by shooting that led to his tragic death on March 9 that year. The double album features truly classic hip-hop joints such as “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money Mo Problems,” as well as guest appearances from Jay Z, Lil’ Kim, Mase, R. Kelly, and more.
